Nostr Web Client

A distributed architecture ("true decentralization of servers") doesn't solve the problem posed by China's Great Firewall.

They got technology to block even the sneakiest traffic. With the help of AI even more now.

Sooner or later you'll realize that the only solution is having alternative infrastructure. For example a satellite constellation in mesh network privately owned by thousands of enthusiasts.

I like this plan, and we can utilize a lot of other technologies as well as/instead of satellite.

Reticulum networks can duct-tape together any combination of serial cables, twisted pair, LoRa, HF packet radio, TCP/IP and I2P. Good luck stopping all of those from crossing a border, especially LoRa!

Literally the Rockefeller Foundation's "Smart Scramble scenario."

Interesting paper.

Yup, Reticulum is literally designed for keeping services like Nostr going in scenario #4, but I can also see a strong use case for #3 Hack Attack - keeping limited connectivity to low-bandwidth services going during widespread outages.

And Scenario #1 Lockstep is what China has already (Gaza too). I can certainly see a need to be able to re-bridge isolated networks and get data in and out against the wishes of the State.

Yesterday's dystopian scenario => tomorrow's unexpected news...

Chilling how the report anticipated COVID in such detail back in 2010.
